Sign Epoxy on Dryvit or Stucco

I am bidding a building wash that the new owners of the building want all of the old plastic letter signs removed from the building. Not to hard, bust the plastic apart and then I can pry the mount off of the building fairly easy, the only problem is that leaves some of the epoxy/adhesive behind on the building. I know we use to use that brown constuction grade adhesive that comes in tubes like silicone to install these type of letters, that is what this looks like. Anyone have any ideas on how to get that off of the building.
 
Sometimes they use a silicone adhesive that will leave a permanent stain in the surface even if you remove the physical residue.

I have run into this a few times and it is very hard to find something that will get the silicone out of the surface, even concrete.

It is kind of like the ArmorAll residue on driveways, it stays white when the driveway is wet but you can't tell it is there sometimes when it is dry.

With this residue on stucco, I doubt the residue will be able to be removed. The best bet is to remove what you can and they might have to paint over the stain.

Good Luck.
